Area of Science:

  • Geological Engineering
  • Environmental Science
  • Energy Policy

Background:

  • Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is crucial for mitigating industrial CO2 emissions.
  • Meso-scale analysis bridges regional accounting and site-specific reservoir modeling.
  • Oil shale development presents unique carbon management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a meso-scale CCS site screening methodology.
  • To assess carbon management strategies for oil shale production in the Piceance-Uinta Basin.
  • To integrate reservoir capacity, infrastructure design, and cost analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the CO(2)-PENS model for meso-scale site screening, including capacity and injectivity.
  • Employed the SimCCS model for optimized pipeline network design and cost minimization.
  • Integrated the CLEAR(uff) model to calculate CO2 source terms based on oil production levels.

Main Results:

  • Identified nine sequestration sites in a 13,300 km(2) area with a combined capacity of 6.5 GtCO(2).
  • Demonstrated storage potential for 50 years of shale-oil production at 1.3 Mbbl/day.
  • Revealed a complex, nonlinear relationship between CCS infrastructure deployment and oil shale production rates.

Conclusions:

  • Meso-scale CCS screening is effective for evaluating large-scale carbon management strategies.
  • The Piceance-Uinta Basin offers substantial CO2 storage capacity relevant to U.S. oil production.
  • Optimized infrastructure and spatial deployment are key to cost-effective CCS implementation in the oil shale industry.
